It's Saturday night, and I should be working. Instead, I'm fooling around on my computer and waiting for my wine to chill. I'm thinking about an evening of Wii and wine. The visual resemblance of those two words is surely not a coincidence, n'est ce pas?
I just took this photo on my shitty webcam. It's my dog "face mashing" me. He does this weird thing where he mashes his head into any of your body parts he has access to. It reminds me of one of my best friends who starts to talk with his head when he's hammered.
I've decided this week that - next year - I am going to go on a working holiday to Central and South America. I've got friends to stay with in Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, so I will work in each of these countries for a month. I'm also going to make enough money to pay for food, a return ticket, and some travelling around Peru and Argentina as well. I have to save some money first, hence the span of time before I leave. I've been looking at ticket prices, and they are cheap! Yayyyyy!
The other day, I was crossing the road a stride-length behind a very attractive girl wearing a skirt, tights, and hot boots. This guy pulled up at the four-way stop in a convertible - with the top down. During Canadian winter (well, technically, it's not winter yet, but if there has already been snow, it's winter in my mind). He jammed his breaks as if he hadn't seen her (or me, for that matter) crossing the street, and revved his bloody engine whilst waiting. "Hear that? It's a mid-life crisis mating call" I jested out of his earshot. The girl laughed and walked on. Still, this whole experience got me to thinking: what is this whole mid-life crisis all about? Surely, it has something to do with not running around and not doing enough crazy shit before settling down and procreating. I mean, travelling and the like are not for everyone, but each person probably has a few things he or she should do before settling down, right? Of course, not everyone settles down, either. I wonder if I ever will.
As a result, I figured I should indulge the travel bug some more. I just feel like I need to do it. I'd rather do it now than waste the cash later on an engine I can rev at young hotties.
I've got one other thing to share. I am a head teacher at work, and I develop quite a bit of curriculum. I decided to make one of the assignments for one of our levels a "rant" - they had to write about something that pisses them off, basically. This is one of those rants, verbatim. It made me laugh, anyway. Oh, and I guess I'll just put one great big [sic] at the end of the whole thing. Keep in mind, this was written by an ESL student. Names have been removed to protect the innocent.
Walking Rage
If you like go to shopping on weekend, you're might be have "walking rage." This can make me want to KILL SOMEBODY or KICK SOMEONE'S ASS. On the weekend, after a busy week, I feel very tired, weekend is coming, I can relax on the weekend and do something what I like, like shopping. Because of weekend there are many people go to shopping. I walk on a narrow path; it might be just can through four or five people. But some people walk front of me. They walk like a line and they walk very slowly, there have no space to let me pass them. But I don't like walk like that slow or I want to go to buy something, I don't want to waste my time, sometimes my friends are wait me, I need to meet them as fast as I can. At that time, I will feel very angry. "WHAT HELLS ARE THEY DOING! Why they can't just walk at right edge, let people to walk fast who need it."
If there is a modern lady walk in front of me and she roll her buttocks, but she don't care about who is behind her and want pass, she just walk. It really makes me CRAZY. Does she a model? Does she in a fashion show? I really want CUT HER BUTTOCKS. Sometimes I want punch some people's face. Let them RELAX AT HOSPITAL, don't let them work like a line to stop people to pass them. Therefore we need to learn control ourselves. We can't just angry and do something stupid. When you feel angry just take a deep breath you will feel better.

Bwahaha, poor student. Glad to see that little flash of anger management at the end.
